A new year of gardening at Fagley Primary

The growing season is almost upon us. As I type, our http://www.rocketgardens.co.uk/ school garden is winging it's way to us.

Year 3 are studying 'helping plants grow well' in science this term and as part of this topic, they will be helping to plant out our lovely new veggies.

Our caretaker has also been busy constructing our new greenhouse acquired through the Morrisons Let's grow scheme. I will be helping him to put the final pieces together tomorrow. So hopefully it will be ready in time to receive our tender new plants.
This year we plan to grow:

Tomatoes
Strawberries
Potatoes
Lettuces
French Beans
Runner Beans
Beetroot
Cauliflowers
Cabbages
Spinach
Courgettes
Leeks

We also plan to grow a medicinal herbs and flowers bed with a view to producing some herbal remedies later in the year.
